Sheffield Wednesday announced on Monday evening that Garry Monk had been sacked from his role as manager, sparking immediate speculation as to who would be the next coach to take the helm at Hillsborough.

When Steve Bruce left the Owls last year, the club waited weeks to appoint Monk, but with the 2020/21 season in full swing, an announcement before the international break finishes seems likely. Here's a rundown of OddsChecker's current runners and riders for the role.
